Been trying out the latest Slitaz-rolling download. Absolutely amazing distribution. Openbox WM and lots of LXDE components, well-behaved Midori browser. So much in such a small download and very pleasant to use. Of course, you are limited to its package manager, but that works well and has thousands of well-prepared packages in its repo - so when I don't need a distribution with apt-get or similar, Slitaz is a nice. (Still not moving from Puppy Guydog on the main household computer, however - for its overall speed/usability nothing beats Guydog yet - well done Iguleder).

Hi
Also tried to try Slitaz - only able to get what looks like a row of small desktops across the top of the screen - green squares on pink background....

MX-14 is a special version of antiX developed in full collaboration with the Mepis Community. It is a midweight OS designed to combine an elegant and efficient desktop with simple configuration, high stability, solid performance and medium-sized footprint.

It relies on the excellent upstream work by Linux, Debian, and Xfce. It also incorporates the independent and innovative development products Whisker Menu, simsu and gottet, QupZilla Browser, smxi and inxi.

The hd1.0 how do that relate to that
all the other have like hd0.1
should I change to hd3.0?
Does not the code suggest this is new partition or an external one?_________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

That's strange - I have different files from the iso I downloaded - slitaz-rolling.iso......no rootfs.gz.....

Ah, no... it was the same but I joined all the rootfs parts into one (and sorry that anyone would be annoyed by my forgetting that step, as I explain in my next post). I'm just off to bed but if I'll post the joining code sometime tomorrow.

nooby: hd1,0 is my usb flash drive on /dev/sdb1

Thanks, how could you fail to realize that only
the bright guys among us would come
to the conclusion that the set up was
tampered with in that way. I did not spent hour on
to boot it but a good 30 to 45 minutes.

So I felt still feel being let down by you._________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

Actually, I had just forgotten that I had joined them in that way until peebee mentioned the difference with the iso files. It was afterall Jan 19, which is quite a while ago, when I tried slitaz._________________Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit.

With the panel, its desktop is almost a more lightweight alternative to KDE; the clock can be set to several different modes including "fuzzy" mode ("twenty to six", etc.), and QupZilla is a more stable alternative to Konqueror for browsing.

Just installed another beta; that of Zenwalk 7.4. It looks pretty stable so far if a bit spartan (Zenwalk is noted for only giving you the software its devs think you need, rather than what you might want, and it usually works out at about one app per task).

Still, it makes for a very light install; less than 3 GB, which is unusual for a full distro in this day and age. Also, as someone who remembers Zenwalk from years back (Zenwalk 4 was one of my first distros; I ordered the CD-R by post in time for Christmas 2006!), it's great to see it's still going._________________Stone Pentium IV (2.4 GHz), 2 GB of RAM, 160 GB hard drive running Legacy OS2 LTS, Puppy Racy 5.51 Extended, Puppy 4.31 Workhorse, Puppy Precise 5.71 Large and Swift Linux 0.2.0.
